Vasilije Micic officially signed to play with Bayern Munich in Germany next season.

He is signed through the 2016 season and has a player option for a third year. Micic was the 52nd pick in the draft in June, and there has never really been much of a doubt he was going to be stashed overseas. Mon, Aug 4, 2014 09:17:00 AM

Vasilije Micic is finalizing a deal to play in Germany for FC Bayern next season.

There was little doubt the Sixers were going to stash him and the length of the deal is not yet known. Chances are he'll be overseas for a couple seasons. Micic is not worth a pick in any keeper format. Mon, Jul 21, 2014 09:53:00 AM

The Sixers took Serbian PG Vasilije Micic with the 52nd pick of the draft.

The 20-year-old, 6’6" point guard didn’t post jaw-dropping numbers in the Adriatic League last year, averaging 12.1 points, 3.2 boards, 5.8 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.9 triples and 3.6 turnovers in 31.3 minutes. His size and skill should help him score against smaller guards, especially considering he shot 54.3 percent on his two-pointers last year. The Sixers already have a great point guard and Micic will simply be looking for a role as the second- or third-stringer at this point. Thu, Jun 26, 2014 11:48:00 PM

Jerryd Bayless (wrist) will not play against the Pelicans on Thursday.

He didn't even travel with the team. The 76ers were listing Bayless as questionable last week for his wrist soreness, but they're ruling him out early for every game so far this week. Sergio Rodriguez will continue to start and get the lion's share of the PG minutes, so he's a hold in standard leagues until Bayless gets back on the court. T.J. McConnell will get the backup minutes.

76ers head coach said the team is committed to using Ben Simmons (foot) as their point guard once he's ready to return.

Simmons is targeting a January return and Brown said the team will waste no time putting the ball in his hands once he's healthy. "When he’s ready to go to the court, my intention is to give him the ball and let him be the point guard," Brown said. "That’s the plan. That doesn’t just happen. It takes a little bit of time to introduce him." While Simmons is an intriguing stash, he's likely to have his minutes managed upon his return and is tough to roster in standard leagues.

Jahlil Okafor (gastroenteritis) has officially been ruled out for Thursday's game vs. New Orleans.

He remained home in Philly as he recovers from his illness. Okafor's next chance to play will be on Saturday vs. Detroit. Joel Embiid will play 28 minutes on Thursday with Richaun Holmes backing him up.
